About MIND GAMES
Arden sells memories. Whether it’s becoming homecoming queen or studying for that all important test, Arden can hack into a classmate’s memories and upload the experience for you just as if you’d lived it yourself. Business is great, right up until the day Arden whites out, losing 15 minutes of her life and all her memories of the boy across the school yard. The boy her friends assure her she’s had a crush on for years.

Arden realizes that her own memories have been hacked, but they haven’t just been stolen and shared… they’ve been removed. And she’s not the only one, her mysterious crush, Sebastian, has lost ALL of his memories. But how can they find someone who has the power to make them forget everything they’ve learned?

My dad and I are huge sci-fi fans and fans of science in general. At family gatherings, we often have lengthy conversations speculating about life on other planets, robots' self-awareness, and other technological advances. One day we were discussing the power of cloud devices and how the storage capacity will one day rival our own brains. That’s all it took to set me off! I started thinking about cloud devices storing memories and how downloading and uploading might work. I wondered what would happen if those types of devices got hacked… and from there I started thinking about the hacker. Why would she steal memories? What would she do with them? And of course, what would happen if someone stole from her? Soon after, Arden was born as well as her story!
